Romantic beach destinations of Kerala

Is there anything more romantic than standing on a beach, holding hands and watch the sun set? It is so quiet and serene that you feel you are the only two souls in this universe, lost in each other so deeply. The gentle wind rustles through your hair making you feel so light that you might float around. As the last rays of the sun dies down in the ocean, you can hear your hearts whispering to each other – “You are mine”

Looking for a magical honeymoon? The western coastal line of Kerala awaits you with its enchanting beaches. You would be spoilt for choices, when it comes to a honeymoon destination by the side of the ocean.

Marari beach - Alappey

The clean white sands of the Marari beach invites you for a romantic evening walk through the promenade of coconut trees. It would be the best stretch that you ever walked, whispering sweet nothings to each other.

Muzhuppilangad beach - kannur

Would you like to go for a romantic drive right on the beach? Then India’s longest drive-in beach- Muzhuppilangad awaits you. It is an otherworldly experience to drive through the 4km stretch, watching the water splashes all around you. Is there any better way to start the long journey with your loved one?

Bekal beach - Kasaragod

Have the movie "Bombay" been your teenage romantic fantasy? Then the Bekal beach right next to that majestic fort invites you to spend a few quiet moments with your special one, reliving a bit of your teenage romantic fantasy. An iconic romantic song of the 90's film Bombay was shot here near the Bakel fort.

Varkala beach

The list of Kerala beaches never ends. If you are up for a little bit of adventure and a magical sunset, head up to the cliff that covers the Varkala beach. The beach itself is covered in a cove under the cliff. Watching the sun sets into the beach beneath you is a unique experience.

Darmadam beach

Ever wanted to cross the ocean with your soul mate? Then the Darmadam beach is where you need to go. The calm and serene beach of Darmadam houses a private island which can be reached by walking in the shallow waters of the sea during the low tide. It feels like you are walking in a dream.

Kovalam beach

If you are looking for a little beach pulse and a few shacks, then Kovalam beach is your destination. Walk through the bustling promenade of the Kovalam beach and have some hearty sea food on the street shops.

Kovalam is the most celebrated beach of Kerala hence the busiest. Kovalam may not fit into the serene beach experience, however it is a hub of young and energetic people. You would love the buzz of this place for sure.

Andakaranazhi beach

This offbeat beach is located in the outskirts of the Alappuzha district. If you look for a beach that is not yet overcrowded by the tourists, then Andakaranazhi beach is the right place where you should be. It would be a unique and romantic experience to watch the sunset at the Andakaranazhi beach, where the Chinese fishing nets creates a unique backdrop.

Andharakanazhy also has a resort in the island, which looks quite picturesque on the aerial view.

Poovar Beach and Island

Wake up in a floating cottage to the lullaby of the gentle waves and the distant roar of the might ocean. Was it your pre-nuptial dream to get away to a serene island and set up a small house just for the two of you? Nothing can take you closer to your dream than a honeymoon on the Poovar Island. The highlight of the Poovar island is the boat cruise with a twist, which takes you through the calm waters of the Neyyar river and as you progress, the calmness of the Neyyar dam give way to the ferocious ocean.

Your photos are absolutely stunning, all the beaches look amazing! I wish I had time to visit them all! I especially loved the look and sound of Darmadam beach and walking in the shallow waters. So descriptive in your writing.

Beach destinations are always romantic and are best suited for the honeymooners. Being a beach lover, every month I tour a nearby beach to wind up myself and free from the busy work schedule. Kerala is most probably in every tourist's checklist to travel. It has the famous backwater, captivating beaches, Ayurveda remedy option, and lots of special authentic local dishes. Though I have visited this place several times before, this monsoon I planning to again visit this place.
